No - obviously ejaculation is beneficial as it gets the sperm as close to the cervix as possible, but once there it is helped by the females body. Around a week before ovulation the mucus that plugs-up the cervix softens and flows down into the vagina where it acts to protect sperm from the acidic pH of the vagina and provides a medium through which sperm can swim through. The cervix also dips down into the vagina during orgasm to 'pick-up' the sperm, and uterine contractions also help propel the sperm up through the uterus.
What is cervical mucus like during ovulation?

Is cervix the female external genital organs?
No. The cervix (Latin neck) is the passageway from the vagina (outer chamber) to the uterus, where the fetus grows after conception.

During pregnancy, the cervix is blocked by a thick mucosal plug.

What are the main functions of the cervix?
The cervix acts as a barrier, preventing bacteria and other harmful pathogens from entering the uterus. It also produces cervical mucus that changes in consistency throughout the menstrual cycle to either facilitate or hinder sperm movement. During childbirth, the cervix dilates to allow the passage of the baby from the uterus to the birth canal.
